What this shows Elichens's Innovation Score is 32.4/100 (41st percentile of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Elichens?

Each dot is one of Elichens’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Elichens’s own 14.5 claims/patent is at or below the 20.9 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Elichens's grants concentrate

Elichens is a focused PatentsView assignee: 5 CPC subclasses with 100% of grants classified under G01N (Investigating OR Analysing Materials BY Determining Their Chemical OR Physical Properties). Peak complete grant year is 2021 (4 grants) versus a trough of 1 in 2020. By volume, Elichens sits between Elcam Medical Agricultural Cooperative Association Ltd and Energid Technologies Corporation.

Elichens's three-year grant acceleration

Elichens shows 5 grants in 2022–2024 against only 5 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
